Issues You Might Notice with Your Plumbing
Here are some signs that you should address your plumbing issues with the help of a professional.
Frozen Pipes
The number one thing that you should look out for this winter is frozen pipes. We live in a cold-weather climate in Pottstown where the nighttime temperatures will definitely freeze. It’s important to make sure that you’re not succumbing to problems with frozen pipes. If you’d like to avoid troubles like this, we suggest the following:
- Insulating pipes that freeze often.
- Letting water drip from pipes that have frozen in the past.
- Keeping the temperature in your home at a constant.
- Opening up your cabinets to let warm air hit these pipes.
These are easy ways to avoid frozen pipes all winter long.
Water Heater Issues
It’s important to note if you’re dealing with water heater issues. It’s not likely that you’re going to notice a water heater issue straight from the source. Instead, you’re more likely to notice the symptoms. When you notice things like the following, it’s worthwhile to check in with a professional to check on your water heater.
- Low water pressure.
- Rust in your water.
- Discolored water or water that smells unpleasant.
- A lack of hot water.
- Troubles with the sound of your water heater (rumbling and knocking in particular).
These are all pretty clear signs that you’re having water heater issues and we can help.
